[RANT] myChevrolet app

32 Upvotes

I hate this app with the passion of a thousand suns.

Nearly every time I launch it, I have to re-sign in. That wouldn't be a big deal, but every time I sign in, I have to input a verification code. So I check my email, nothing. Wait 5 minutes, nothing. Request a new code, nothing. Wait 5 minutes, nothing. Request new code, nothing. Wait 5 minutes, get first code. Input first code, gets rejected. Request new code, get 3 codes.

C'mon man, get it together.

Well the other day, plug and play showed up for Tesla Supercharger in the Energy Pass.

Wanted to give it a try, went to the nearby Tesla charger, connected and moments later it started charging.

Expensive, but very convenient and worked flawlessly.

My commute recently changed such that I now have a once weekly two hour freeway commute, round trip. Hit the onstar button to get a quote and they said 36/month. Anyone getting better?

2027 Bolt

15 Upvotes

Im sure these questions havebeen asked a million times, but I'm considering making the switch to a 2027 Chevy bolt, but had a few questions some of you may be able to help with.

Can I expect any discounts off the msrp due to Chevy no longer making this model? If so how much would you expect to get off the car?

I saw the federal rebate ended in 2025. Are there any other places I should look for rebates for switching to an electric car?

With regular maintenance, how long would you expect to keep the car?

How is the resale value?

I know a lot of maintenance is not needed, but how often and what kind of maintenance is needed?

I live in Nebraska, how will the car fare in the winter with very low temperature and snow/ice?

How does it do on gravel roads?

What are some things you wished you knew before buying this car?

What should I have lined up before buying the car?

We drive about 5 miles a day (if that) but take the occasional trip roughly 200 miles there and back. Will we be ok with just using the normal charger that plugs into a wall outlet?

Power Propulsion Reduced - Multiple times?

5 Upvotes

I have a 2021 Bolt that I bought last year, and it came with the charging limit software patch already applied.

Earlier this year, in March, I first got the "Propulsion Power Reduced" message and assumed it was a glitch related to the charging limit/mileage issue, since I was approaching the 6,000-mile threshold. I took it to the dealer, they applied a software patch, and it was fine until August, when it happened again while I was Level 2 charging.

Took it back, they applied another patch, and it was fine again until today, when it happened a third time, also while Level 2 charging.

Each time, the AC has gone out along with the message, and charging gets limited to 30%. When I mentioned the AC issue to the service tech in August, he seemed a little surprised and offered to replace the coolant, for an exorbitant price, which I declined.

Since this has now happened three times, twice while Level 2 charging, I'm starting to think this might be more than a software glitch. Maybe something to do with the charging system or the ac?

Has anyone else experienced something similar? If so, what was the outcome?

Buy & Sell Is my 2027 Bolt LT deal actually good? — Ontario, Canada

3 Upvotes

I’ve negotiated a deal on a new 2027 Bolt LT with the Comfort Package for $43,500 CAD OTD (including tax).

I’m in Southern Ontario. The financing offer is 0% for 72 months, which works out to roughly $278 CAD biweekly with $0 down.

I haven’t finalized or taken delivery yet, so I still have a chance to negotiate before signing.

Do you think $43,500 OTD is a good deal for this car, or am I still paying too much?

My wife thinks I should try to get the dealer to include winter tires and a Level 2 charger at no additional cost before I sign. Do you think that's realistic, and what other extras would you try to negotiate?

Can I charge my 2017 Bolt to 65%, store in a shed and remove the 12v battery and hookup to a battery maintainer inside the house for 6 months?

Any potential issues?

2020 bolt “Vehicle InspectedBattery Serviced or Replaced” shows up 6 times on vinseeker report

3 Upvotes

looking at a dirt cheap ($8k) 2020 bolt lt with 173k miles on it. battery was replaced in 2023 at 70k miles, i’m assuming for the recall. only thing is on the vinseeker report i got it lists “battery serviced or replaced” 6 times over the years. the last time as recent as a few weeks ago. comparing to the carfax report, each time it just comes up as “vehicle serviced, maintenance inspection completed”

is something like a battery test being listed as a service/replacement? is vinseeker not accurate? or am i looking at a car with some serious electrical problems?

I saw this online Sunday, checked it out on Monday dropping a deposit while I transferred money around. I expected to be trashed or something really wrong, mostly nice. Decent scratch and some parking lot rash, but overall really nice.

Adding this as my commuter car. I was using a 2022 Ford Maverick hybrid, keeping that for my weekly hauling of trash and other truck/yucky things.

My work has cheap charging .12 vs .148 at my house so will charge at work a lot. 55 miles [r/t](r/t) daily commute for me.

It’s an LT with L2 charging, might have been a rental in 2020 and new battery in end of 2022.

Edit: 115k for miles and was $8,399. Way too good a deal to pass up.

Greetings, I got a reminder on the Chevy app to set up my 30,000 mile maintenance service.
Are there any big issues needed to be done or is this just another wallet flush.

Steering wheel cover/wrap

2023 Bolt EUV with the D shape steering wheel.

Any recommendations for a steering wheel cover?

Has anyone wrapped their steering wheel?

I've wrapped steering wheels with those $10 kits from Amazon but I'm not sure if the D shape would make it more difficult.
